Greenship, EDGE, or LEED? Choosing the Right Green Building Certification

Green building certification improves asset value, cuts operating costs, and demonstrates ESG commitment – but each scheme suits a different type of project.

Comparing the schemes

Greenship (GBCI) is the Indonesian national standard and is well understood by local authorities. EDGE (IFC) is a fast, cost-effective scheme focused on energy, water, and materials. LEED is the global benchmark favoured by multinational tenants.

The right choice depends on your tenants, financing partners, and the stage of design you are in.
